Hi Uldis, Thank you so much for your help. My Dovecot version is 0.99.11 and it does not support ACL. I will try to use file system permissions to make mails read-only to users. The parameter of home_mailbox is set to Maildir/ . would you please tell me which directory or file should be changed file permissions?
